Happy 4th Birthday edwardlifegem.com!

Hi there, today is Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem's 4th Birthday! This means I've been making blog posts for four years. I remember creating my blog on May 10th, 2010 with Mary Dreamshade and even though it feels like yesterday, I'm still happy I have been blogging this long. I really want to thank everyone for helping me stick around this long. I almost quit the game in 2011 but I'm glad I'm still here blogging and having fun on the game. I hope to stick around another four years (that would be epic would that be to make an 8th Birthday post). Anyways, thank you soooo much! I really don't know what else to say than that. I plan on making tons of P101 & W101 posts this year, next year and however long I'm here. :D I can't believe how much this blog has grown since 2010. I have made nearly 1,000 blog posts on this blog! I think that's impossible because I've had so much fun and it's crazy to think that I've blogged that much. How about another 1,000? 2,000? Well we'll see :). I would like to thank One-Eyed Jack for accepting my submission for Pirate101 Fansite and Kingsisle for amazing games to blog about. I would also like to thank you for reading this blog! It's amazing that I have so many readers. I don't know who's reading my blog, but whoever you are.. Thank you so much. :) I'm going to end this post now by sending you to all of my posts I've made in the past over my blog's blogiversary. Thank you again and I hope to see you around the spiral. :) Click on the images below to view my blogiversary posts from the past. :)

Wizard101 Character Update: Edward Legendgem

Hello Wizards!

Today I had a chance to level my balance wizard. I thought it would be a great idea to blog about how my balance wizard has been doing lately since I haven't in awhile. I've been questing my balance wizard through Savannah, Zafaria and other side worlds. I've leveled him six levels so far from level 60 to level 66! I think I'm doing great so far. :D I have a good feeling I will make it through Zafaria within a week or so if I keep questing as much as I can. I'm sure it'll be less time but I know how busy I've been so I'll just say a week for now. :D

I plan on leveling this wizard to level 100 before July 4th! I will be updating you all on my progress through the game on this character every once in awhile. I am hoping I make it to 100 all of my characters, especially since I've been super busy lately. I still have that feeling my wizards will make it to that level before or on that date. I think I'm doing good because I haven't leveled my characters this much since 2011! :D I can't believe how far I've made it... Oh talking about far.. Around the Spiral's 4th Birthday is TOMORROW! I've been blogging nearly four years.. If you would have ask me in 2010 when I first created this blog if I would make it to 2014, I would say NO WAY! Now I know I would make it four years and if you ask me now if I will make it to 2018, I'd say YES WAY! Thank you all for reading this blog and I hope you enjoy all of my adventures on it. I'll have another post tomorrow. I hope you all have an awesome Friday. :) I'll see you around the spiral. :D

Privateer Update: Edward Donnely

Ahoy Pirates!

It's been awhile since I made a blog post about my privateer and just a normal blog post this week. I apologize for not making any blog posts this week! Last weekend I had a family emergency and I couldn't level or blog at all. Everything is fine now! :) I planned to make a post the beginning of this week about my privateer but I was busy. I think now would be a perfect time to make this post so I don't forget. :D

Lately I've been leveling my privateer through ship sinking quests and dungeons such as the presidio! I soloed that dungeon with my privateer with no problem at all. I think the only bad thing about that dungeon is the first few fights but you can skip them. There are monkeys that are by guard towers in the presidio that you can run pass if you're fast enough. :) I was able to run pass them and I only had to fight five fights instead of eight of them. I have also earned new companions on my privateer. I think I will continue questing my privateer (he's currently level 8) when I have time and blog about him a little bit, just like I did today. :D I would also like to update you all on my swashbuckler, I promise I will start questing him again. I will also blog about the updates from the test realm once they are released to the live realm. :) Thank you all for reading and I missed you! I hope you all are staying safe and not being captured by the Armada! :D

I'm Gardening!

Hello Wizards!

Lately I've been gardening to earn not only gardening experience, but also mega snacks from a few seeds! I've been trying to garden as much as I can lately to get my mega snacks so I can level my pets that I want leveled to help me level to 100 before July 4th. There was a family emergency in my family this last weekend, but everything is fine now and I'm finally back and leveling again.. :)

I have tried gardening in the past and the house that I'm currently gardening in was full of plants! Everywhere! One week I forgot about gardening and all of my plants died because I forgot. I stop gardening for about a year after that. I recently started again so I could level my pets as much as I can while leveling. I usually put a turtle pet I have in shared bank each time I level a character and sometimes it takes forever to get that pet I need because I have different characters on my account that I level. It's actually fun gardening again and so far I'm not having any bad luck. :) Anyways, that's my update for now! I promise I'll more character updates soon. I've leveled a lot since my last post and I can't wait to share where my characters are currently. :) Thanks for reading and I hope I see you around the spiral. :D

Pirate101 Party Recap!

Ahoy Pirates,

I am up early this morning and I decided that I will blog about the Pirate101 Fansite Event that Adventures of the Spiral and Art in the Spiral host last night. I thought this event was a lot of fun and I'm happy I could make it to it! This event was a lot of fun because there were contests, friends and pvp. :D I think this party should be an annual thing because of how awesome it was. :D I was shy and didn't talk much but I still had fun. :D I have a lot of pictures from the event that I was taking for this blog post. :)

We all met in Avery's Court before the party!

Dancing!

Watching Pirate PvP! :D

Picture with Ian Sharp aka Ian Stormstaff! :D

Dancing with Blaze Lawson (Blaze Shadowhorn) & Ian Sharp (Bunnylord)

I don't know if I was dancing, clapping or bowing LOL

I can float! Not fly. :P

Last picture of the day.

This was a nice turn out for a first time party like this! I thought this was an awesome party and I wish I could have been there longer and had more pictures with everyone. I'm not going to be sad in this post, but I need you all to know that I might not be here to blog too much this coming week. I know it's my blog's fourth Birthday week so I will try to be here and make a post on that day. The posts this week will be random but I hope you all stick around! I apologize to anyone I worried yesterday. If you know what's happening, he's doing better tonight but they're trying to figure out why he's getting something that he has been having. That's all of the details I'm giving out for now. I want to thank the community so much! You all helped so much. There were so many prayers and I believe they have been answered. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means. I believe he'll be okay, but gotta figure out why this has happened. If you don't know what's happening, I'm sorry this last part doesn't make sense! Just know I'll be back. I hope you all have a nice Sunday! Thanks again for reading and if you haven't already, please check out Adventures of the Spiral and Art in the Spiral's websites. These sites are awesome, thank you for all of the hard work you do and for the party last night. Still puts a smile on my face thinking about how fun it was. :) May the 4th be with you!
